Do not stare directly at this beer
Do you believe in fate? Or a higher power? Yeah, us neither. But sometimes, juuust sometimes, a little coincidence will make you think. Like, brewing a beer with the Australian hop named ECLIPSE and realizing that weeks later, it will be released the very week OF AN ACTUAL SOLAR ECLIPSE. Nobody here knew. We didn’t plan for this. It just HAPPENED. And yeah, there’s some other hops in here - Citra and Enigma, another Australian hop - but we only use Eclipse like a couple times a year. Some may call it serendipity or destiny. Others will attribute it to their God(s) existence. All we know is that this beer is delicious, with notes of mango and the entire crate of oranges (i.e bright flesh, bitter peel, hint of cedar), and came out right on time.

Draft pour at Chuck's, 85th. Glowing juicy orange haze. Oranges, and cream aroma with a subtle grain. Otherwise ultimately juicy. Flavor has lots of orange fruit with a decent bitterness to pair. Cool taste. Has the distinct stone fruit quality of some of the down under hops. Mango juicy finish. Fun and unique brew. Very much enjoyed this.
